Umikaze Minamino initially released the series on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website in August 2021. The story is still ongoing even now. Kadokawa has been releasing compiled novel volumes since March 2022. Additionally, La-na launched the manga adaptation in April 2022.
Yen Press describes Kunon the Sorcerer Can See as follows:
Kunon Gurion was born without sight and unsure of his purpose in life, but everything changes when he resolves to find a way to use magic to see. This is a feat no sorcerer has ever accomplished or even tried, and it won’t be easy.
Kunon’s single-minded ambition leads him to quickly surpass his teacher, and with only a few basic spells, he can already sense color, produce useful items, and create a lifelike cat from water! Word of his skills and ingenuity soon reaches the castle, which earns him a rare chance to study under a powerful new mentor. But is Kunon’s goal even attainable?
Lastly, the anime adaptation of Kunon the Sorcerer Can See is in development. The anime’s staff will confirm more details about the series’ cast, staff, release date, distributors, animation studio, and more in the coming months.
